Question

【題目】You say you’re old enough to stay out late on weekends while they say you have to be home early.【1】You say you’ve met some nice kids and you’d like to go out with them, but they say they’d like to see your friends first.

When you’re a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to”, they will certainly answer “No, you can’t.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, what time I’m going to be home. Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?【2】”

【3】When something goes wrong, most parents just don’t believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.

【4】But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so. And when something seems to threaten your well-being, they worry.

So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie.【5】If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don’t just say, “All the other kids can stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you’ll be and why it’s important for you to stay out later ..., they might just say yes.

A．Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a small child.

B．No one likes being troubled.

C．Try a more friendly way.

D．They should give us more freedom.

E. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them.

F. You say you want to see that new film while they say you can’t see it.

G. They are willing to give you advice on your friends.

【2】D

【3】E

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】試題分析:本文是一篇議論文。主要介紹了父母和孩子的代溝問題。孩子總覺得父母過于啰嗦，總覺得父母管得太多，而父母是害怕孩子受到傷害，渴望去保護他們，本文旨在告誡孩子們要學(xué)會與父母溝通，試著去理解他們的良苦用心而非叛逆。

【1】F 由本段是一段排比句，介紹了孩子與父母溝通的場景，折射出一些問題，都是以“you say”開頭，故選F。

【2】D 由Debbie 的回答Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything?知她不滿意父母的種種約束，她渴望“自由”，這也是她的內(nèi)心獨白，故選D。

【3】E 由后文Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents would allow their kids to choose for themselves.知孩子覺得父母總是不分情況的怪他們，很少有家長讓孩子自由選擇，此空是一個總領(lǐng)句，孩子們認為父母不尊重自己，故選E

【4】A 后面有一個關(guān)鍵詞“but”可知but后面內(nèi)容與此空相反，But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish mistakes you used to make. They want to protect you，但是請記住不久前你就是一個孩子，他們記得你犯過的錯，他們只是想保護你罷了，此空應(yīng)該是盡管你的父母把你當(dāng)小孩，故選A。

【5】C 由if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not just lie.知本段告訴我們要試著去理解父母，用正確的方式去溝通，而不是一味的騙他們，故選C。
